It's now been 11 days since I had to get up with them at night. Woo-hoo! They only have one bottle a day, right before bedtime, otherwise they drink from sippies and regular cups. They're learning to drink from straws. They still don't stand independently though. Chris is a climber and loves to climb onto the coffee table, the couch, their rocking chairs (I have a picture of him sitting in his chair, check the Oct photos link). They like to sit cross-legged now, Indian-style, which is really cute.

The boys are now 13.5 months old, 12 adjusted, and they are still not walking. They have been cruising the furniture for a long time, crawling since June, and will walk pretty good if you hold their hands, but they won't stand up unsupported or walk unsupported. I am worried that their gross motor skills are delayed but Robert isn't concerned. My mom says my brother didn't walk until after one year old, and he wasn't a preemie. It's hard to stop worrying about it though.

Had to rearrange the living room, Chris figured out how to climb onto the coffee table. He can't get up there now. They are smart little bugs. They still don't want to walk or stand independently though, just holding onto things. They are like greased lightning crawling though, so I guess they just don't care about walking yet. They're so funny together talking and giving each other kisses and wrestling. Dominic likes to pin Christian to the ground and kiss him until Chris cries. Boys.

Mom's school is taking up all her free time! Sorry for the gap between updates. Still no new teeth! And still not sleeping all night. They are really good eaters though. We've had a hard time with naps, the last 3 days they have refused their afternoon nap. I don't know if they don't need it any more or are just in a phase. I think we'll go out sometime today and see if that helps. Maybe they've got cabin fever.

 

 I have no idea what to count as their first word. They say dadadadada all the time, but don't seem to associate it with Dad. They do say momom (always just two syllables: mom-mom) on occasion and seem to know what it means. They just started saying brub-brub which I'm pretty sure is brother, they say it before or after a bunch of babble and it really seems to be addressing their twin... Generally their conversations go:

Daydaydaydaydayday boom.
Ah-boom daydayday wubwub.

 

New pictures in September, and started the October page.
